And here are St. George's mushrooms !

Out prospecting, this Saturday, April 14, 2012, in a limestone area, looking for yellow morels, Morchella esculenta.

No morel was found, but a beautiful fairy ring of St. George's mushrooms - Calocybe gambosa.


These are the first, but the growth promises to be particularly abundant and dense.

Some pickers love this fungus to the smell of wet flour or bread pronounced. This fairy ring was discovered beside a hedge, in the grass.

They are easily recognized by their looks rather massive, the tip of the cap well wrapped, the cream gills very closed and of course, their powerful and characteristic odor.
